The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind: Picture Book Edition by William Kamkwamba, Bryan Mealer
4.0
Amazing story! Didn't love the illustrations, but the story is wonderful.
After a severe drought, crops dried out and a famine killed over ten thousand people. "With no money to pay for school fees, William had to drop out. But instead of sulking around, he began visiting a library..." It was at the library that William read science books and learned that windmills create electricity. He built a windmill at age 14 for his community out of trash.
